I love using GoBinder. It's so easy. Without a tablet pc I can use it on a laptop with a wacom tablet and stylus if I want to ink. It syncs with Outlook. You can embed hyperlinks. I LOVE that I can save whole webpages if I need the resource, instead of having to furl the page and get back to it later. I love that I can circle and highlight a webpage I've saved. I used it for a professional development presentation which I found very useful because I didn't have to open several programs to demo the information. At my school we're working on developing portfolios for student led conferences--GoBinder is perfect for a portfolio. And, I'm creating my own professional teaching portfolio with GoBinder! All around--excellent product. And, it's free for educators!!! What more can you ask for!
The only negative--it seems that you can add unlimited tabs to your binder but I haven't yet figured out how to begin a brand new binder. If you can create more than one binder I give it a 10. If not--an 8 because it is a real draw back.

I'd give it a 10 if it supported hyperlinks (and an 11 if it synced to my Palm). DON'T BE FOOLED - this is an excellent application for all users - not just students. It's very similar to Franklin Covey's Tablet software (also written by Agilix) but It's half the price and doesn't have the overhead of the Franklin Covey organizing methodology (which I've never gotten into). Its other competitor would be OneNote and it wins the battle because you can print anything into your Binder (using a print driver similar to Adobe's Distiller) and you can track by date as well as project. OneNote's major advantage is the ability to store active hyperlinks.

GoBinder is awesome. The pen use everywhere is so easy...It's the first program I've used in a long time that I felt like I knew how to use it all without reading all the docs first. And I really like the binder/tab system for keeping everything organized. The other thing I love is being able to print from other programs into GoBinder for easy annotating and reference when I'm offline. I've used it to keep travel itinterary e-mails, spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations, text files, Word docs, and web pages. It's so easy to file stuff in the binder and later retrieve it.
I also look forward to seeing it develop over time.

Whoa! GoBinder is very cool when you hook it up to Blackboard. A thirty-second sync and all of the class data is populated in the calendar, task list, and contact sections.
A serious draw-back is that the professor's content is not downloaded. I understand from the pilot at BYU that this is coming out in the next version this summer.
It's the only thing I can see that makes the TabletPC useful.

GoBinder is a natural addition to the Tablet experience for students. Increase in organizational skills and course interactivity has already been realized. Great product and I am eager to see it develop over time.

Great combination of ink and text! I also love having everything in one place: calendar, syllabus, notes, phone list. If they could just do an email component the same quality as the other ones, I wouldn't have to use another application!

Love that I can manage all my assignments in the syllabus and see the due dates show up on my calendar. Ink support is awesome and I wish all Tablet applications went this far.
